Each glucose molecule produces 2 pyruvate molecules so 3 glucose will make 3*2=6 pyruvate molecules.

In aerobic respiration, each molecule of glucose produces approximately 32 molecules of ATP. Therefore, to make 6000 molecules of ATP, you would need 6000/32 = 187.5 molecules of glucose. However, since you cannot have a fraction of a molecule, you would need 188 molecules of glucose to produce 6000 molecules of ATP in aerobic respiration.
Approximately 288 molecules of glucose are needed to produce 300 molecules of ATP in aerobic respiration. This is because one molecule of glucose yields around 36-38 molecules of ATP through glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria.
Six molecules of carbon dioxide are used to make one molecule of glucose during photosynthesis.
It takes 2 monosaccharide molecules to form a maltose molecule. Those are 2 glucose molecules. So 2 glucose molecules join together to make 1 maltose molecule.
The chemical equation for photosynthesis, which produces glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆), is: 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂. To produce 12 glucose molecules, you would need 12 times the amount of each reactant. Therefore, you would need 72 carbon dioxide molecules and 72 water molecules to make 12 glucose molecules (6 CO₂ and 6 H₂O per glucose molecule).
